Would like recommendations for the best luxury beach resorts in Asia. Would prefer white, sandy beach, clear blue water and privacy. Something for a romantic get-away. Have enjoyed the Amanpuri in Phuket and the Amanpulo in the Philippines.
Try Aleenta in Phuket. I think it is www.aleenta.com. We stayed in one of the 3 b/room beach front villas (the very last one #5) and it was stunning. Very private and even though it was right on the beach, we hardly saw a soul. Absolutely stunning.
If you want white sandy beaches and crystal clear blue waters, my vote goes to Boracay in the Philippines. But if you want a romantic getaway, with privacy and luxury, suggest you check out Pangkor Laut http://www.pangkorlautresort.com/
